Incidence; Causes and Development

One of the most common of repetitive motion injuries, the World Health Organization categorizes it as a work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Reportedly responsible for 30-40% of workers' compensation claims in the early 1990s, it afflicts burgeoning numbers of office workers.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by excessive and unrelieved repetition of movements that in themselves appear innocuous, such as cutting vegetables or typing on a computer keyboard. In addition to high frequency of repetition and lack of rest periods, factors that increase risk of hand-wrist damage include awkward or unnatural working posture, use of excessive force in performing a task, and emotional stress.
